Today, the Surface Transportation Board published a final rule in the Federal Register (89 FR 4564-4579) for: “Revisions to Regulations for Expedited Relief for Service Emergencies”. The notice of proposed rulemaking for this rule was published on May 2nd, 2022. This final rule amends 49 CFR 1146, Expedited Relief for Service Emergencies.
This rule changes the process by which “affected shippers or railroads may seek accelerated temporary interim relief under 49 U.S.C. 11123(a) for substantial, measurable deterioration or other demonstrated inadequacy in rail service provided by the incumbent carrier that presents potential imminent significant harm and threatens potentially severe adverse consequences to the petitioner, its customers, or the public.”
The effective date for the rule is February 23rd,
2024.
